Eye-opener: Do you believe any of the accusations against Lance Armstrong?

Lance Armstrong is back in the saddle doing what he does best. While he isn't going to win this year's Tour de France, the fact that he's out there says everything about Armstrong's competitive nature.

But is the superstar rider about to enter a competition that he can't win?

LeMond, who was subpoenaed to appear, tells the Denver Post that the evidence will be "overwhelming" against Armstrong in a federal probe.

Armstrong has been adamant about racing clean and in a letter to the federal prosecutor his lawyer wrote "this appears to be a full-blown and largely unmonitored exploration of Floyd Landis' patently unreliable and routinely changing accusations of possible improper conduct in the professional cycling industry at large."

Landis, a self-admitted doper, had previously battled with LeMond but now they seem on the same page.

"I think he's telling the truth," LeMond told the Post. "I think the level of detail, the descriptions, I think it rings true."

So do you think Landis and LeMond are telling the truth or are they ruining the reputation of a great athlete?

While we wait for the scales of justice to tip, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or wondering if Lou Piniella can really stay away from the game.
